Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 400 A Bandit So Extreme He Doesn't Seem Like a Bandit

Bai Liang has had quite a few scandals since his debut.

To be precise, he has been rumored to have had affairs with almost every eligible female artist he has worked with.

But no concrete evidence has ever been captured on camera.

Otherwise, the paparazzi in the industry wouldn't be so obsessed with him, or even harbor resentment towards him.

It seems those two girls from Xinjiang are serious about it; they're fighting so fiercely they're practically ready to officially announce their relationship.

But as both of them became top-tier actresses and gained more and more popularity, people started compiling historical accounts of their lives.

I think the two of them aren't actually competing for Bai Liang, but rather are rivals.

Regardless of whether Bai Liang is there or not, they will still fight.

so.
Since there has been no solid evidence and everything is based on the parties' talk, it has started to feel like a bandit so extreme that it doesn't seem like a bandit at all.

Hmm. People like this usually play Werewolf too much.

They don't like conventional logic; they prefer to use counterintuitive logic.

But there really is a market for it!

There's a saying online that Bai Liang is innocent.
If he really had a close relationship with someone, given the intensity with which the paparazzi are watching him, how could they not have captured anything by now?

This time, Chen Duling being "caught" not only failed to cause Bai Liang to "crash and burn," but also proved this point.

Hilarious! A lone man and woman in a room, instead of doing something fun that adults like to do, they actually played games for a full six hours.

What does it mean to be a modern-day Liu Xiahui (a legendary figure known for his integrity and virtue)?

The fact that this young lady is willing to spend the night with you in a room is practically giving her a license to have sex.

As it turns out, Bai Liang, this "straight man," was only focused on the game.

He has such a strong e-sports spirit.

Therefore, it is "not difficult" to deduce that none of his scandals were true; they were all false.

Some of them are doing it to spread sweetness and promote themselves, while others are just bad women using Bai Liang to create hype.

At the same time, Bai Liang is a good person and doesn't care much about these things, which is why they were given an opportunity to take advantage of him. This is not something netizens made up, but something that has been circulating in the entertainment industry.

People from both men and women, including actors and directors, say he is a good and righteous person; his reputation is impeccable!
It seems to make a pretty good point.

This kind of talk seems to be the work of Bai Liang's female fans. This group is trying to portray every female celebrity who seems to have a story with Bai Liang as someone who is just using him for publicity.

Li Xin:
No, she's going to write a big "miserable" character on Bai Liang's leg!

Because she's the one who's been paired with Bai Liang in a CP (couple pairing) recently.

She was already a bit pitiful; she finally landed a role in a hit drama, but her presence wasn't strong enough.

Fortunately, there were quite a few sweet moments when she appeared on a show with Bai Liang before.

The most direct example is in the show "Back to Field," where Li Xin picked up Bai Liang's phone to check his messages, and the way she did it was as practiced as if she were using her own husband's phone.
Many married women said: "These two are definitely having an affair! We're not even that close to our own husbands!"
If you observe more closely, you'll notice that Li Yitong was just a little slow in reaching out; otherwise, she would have been the one to do it.

Li Xin: This is so hard for me!
These days, creating a couple pairing requires lightning-fast reflexes!

As a result, Bai Liang turned out to be a "straight man" and his on-screen romance with her changed.

If it weren't for the champagne in her hand, which felt so real and allowed Li Xin to relive some of the excitement between them, she would have thought that the comments she saw online seemed to make sense.

But it's all bullshit!

That guy is like a central air conditioner—a total straight man.

However, being beautiful, strong, and tragic is indeed Li Xin's comfortable path.

How comfortable is it?

Even though she was Bai Liang's official partner in "Joy of Life", the off-screen CP hype still turned out to be a disaster.

Whether it was her team or some resourceful content creator, they managed to edit together all the footage of Li Xin and Bai Liang together to create a tragic love story.

Even the episode of "Running Man" where she and Dilraba spun around in the famous scene became material for her story.

Reba and Bai Liang were all lovey-dovey, while she stood by and watched pitifully.
With the background music, it was so moving that it brought tears to the eyes of anyone who heard it.

Bai Liang had watched the edited video, but noticed something was wrong.

The camera angle used by the other party wasn't actually showing Li Xin looking at herself; she was looking at another female guest.

But there's no way around it, it's the best cut!
He edits whatever he wants to see himself, giving the impression that he's locking Li Xin into the "beautiful, strong, and tragic" genre.

And so, "Joy of Life" has finally come to its finale.

The Second Prince's forces officially entered the fray, demanding that Fan Xian either submit or die. As Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun prepared to break through the encirclement back to back, Fan Xian was suddenly stabbed through by Yan Bingyun's sword.

Of course, everyone knows that Fan Xian could not possibly die, and Yan Bingyun's stance has never changed.

However, ending the first season in this way feels a bit like those guys who write online novels ending a story abruptly.

Yes. In the finale, Li Xin didn't appear.

In a story where men are the central figure, she is not the protagonist, but merely the exquisite vase in the protagonist's hand.

At the same time, hashtags such as #FanXianDied#, #JoyofLifeEnds#, and #TheKingofDramasEnds# quickly rose to the top of the trending searches.

There are still a lot of people asking when the second season will be released.

Amidst these trending topics, the complaints about several platforms finally not forgetting to offer advanced on-demand viewing for the last two episodes were drowned out by the even greater buzz.

I just couldn't resist!
It's unclear what kind of shady deal these online streaming platforms made with Hunan TV, but in the end, they still let them implement advanced on-demand viewing.

Fortunately, it wasn't too excessive; it only lasted for the final two episodes, so the audience wasn't particularly bothered.

It's only six yuan for the first recharge~
As a result, the platforms managed to collectively slash nearly 300 million yuan by offering six yuan per person.
It can be said that he demonstrated his status as the king of dramas in a strange way.

Because the advanced viewing of that hit drama "The Untamed" only earned a little over 100 million yuan.

The fans of these two newly crowned top stars have already been hyping them up wildly, seemingly trying to highlight their commercial value.

The chives are quite happy to be harvested; it's a strange sight indeed.

In fact, their commercial value is indeed quite high, and they will continue to make money from fans through online concerts, various merchandise, etc., demonstrating their status as top stars.

If it weren't for that Kapibala.

However, Bai Liang's fans aren't really into this stuff; their tastes have become too sophisticated.

After all, the fact that this company's movies gross billions at the box office has already raised their bar considerably.

They might as well boast about the ratings and clicks, and then discuss the plot of the TV series.

Moreover, several platforms had already been named and shamed, so they were doing this kind of operation in a rather secretive way and didn't dare to publicize it too much.

They made a fortune quietly!
The platforms remained silent, only burying their faces in the blankets and laughing hysterically, while frantically stuffing scripts for various self-produced dramas into Yanzi's hands.

Under these circumstances, Miss Li Xin silently shattered.

Not to mention the finale, she was basically absent from the last dozen or so episodes.

The main female characters who stand out in the later episodes are Haitang Duoduo and Zhan Doudou, played by Chen Yao.

Her cross-dressing as a man was quite convincing.

Many people are joking that "Yue Qiluo was reincarnated to find Zhang Xianzong".

The series finale is over, and hardly anyone is discussing the female lead.
In this situation, Miss Li Xin has no choice but to take the initiative and create some buzz, otherwise she'll never catch anything hot before it's all over.

"Will you be free tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? I'm filming on set tomorrow," Bai Liang said, somewhat puzzled.

"Filming? You're clearly busy playing video games with that girl in a sweet duo queue."

Hearing this, Bai Liang wasn't flustered at all. Instead, he asked, "Where did you learn the term 'sweet duo queue' from?" "I also surf the internet, okay? I'm thinking of visiting you on set tomorrow."

"Sure, I'll take you out for some good food," Bai Liang readily agreed.

But Li Xin found those words a bit strange, and she grumbled reproachfully, "You rascal~"

Bai Liang instantly understood what she meant by "delicious food," and thought to himself that this young lady had a rather discerning palate and her tastes were indeed different from those of ordinary people.

Because normal people don't call that stuff "delicious".

So far, Bai Liang has never met a person who truly enjoys eating because they like him, rather than simply because they enjoy eating.

The difference between the two is quite significant.

However, Li Xin always seems to pair her drinks with champagne; she probably prefers that.
"Actually, I'm here to ride your coattails and create buzz. The TV series has ended, and as a result, my popularity as the female lead is almost gone," Li Xin said honestly after her playful banter.

She knew Bai Liang quite well, so naturally she wouldn't play any tricks on him and would just say what she needed directly.

Besides, Bai Liang is a genius at coming up with ideas, so she was hoping he could give her some advice.

"Trying to ride the wave of popularity. Why don't you come and play a cameo role?"

"Okay~"

Before Li Xin could even feel happy, Bai Liang himself denied it, saying, "It doesn't seem like there's anyone suitable for you, and you can't play a high school student anyway."

"Who can't play a high school student?! The female lead in your movie is only three years younger than me. If she can play the role, why can't I?"

Just like boys' strange competitiveness, girls will never admit defeat in this regard.

She felt that although she was approaching thirty, she was still very well-maintained, and playing a high school student would be a piece of cake for her.

In addition, with the help of makeup magic, even if it's just a cameo, it shouldn't be too jarring.

Bai Liang told the director about Li Xin's request and asked him to arrange a suitable cameo role for her.

After thinking about it, the director said to him, "Why don't we let her jump off the building?"

"Huh? That's not a good idea~"

"I know the actress Li Xin. She has a tragic aura about her, so jumping off a building would be quite fitting."

Bai Liang thought the director made a good point!

After all, she's a well-known contestant in the "beautiful, strong, and tragic" category, though of course, she's also quite adept at the "beautiful, weak, and tragic" category as well.

In short, it was a disaster!

The next day, Li Xin arrived in high spirits with champagne, feeling quite happy, with a wide grin spreading across his face.

Hey, I'm playing a high school student!

She even wore a youthful outfit today, black leather shoes with a floral skirt, and her top was dressed very ladylike and well-behaved. She definitely looked quite young.

That makes perfect sense. Even Yang Mi is still trying to maintain a youthful image, so Li Xin said that it's no problem for her to play a high school student!
Before leaving in the morning, she took a good look at her outfit.

Isn't this the pure feeling of first love?
That'll totally seduce that guy!

As a result, she bumped into Chen Duling, a girl with a face that truly resembled that of a first love, and the other girl even called her "sister" very obediently.

Li Xin's confidence waned slightly. After greeting Chen Duling, the crew's "bully" arrived again.

To help Zhou Ye better understand the character, she was asked to maintain Wei Lai's demeanor even off-screen.

If possible, I'll go and "bully" Chen Duling a little whenever I have free time, just as a way of rehearsing the scene.

Wouldn't that just turn him into a tyrant on set?

However, she hasn't quite captured that sinister and hypocritical feeling yet; instead, she comes across as a comical cockroach bully.

Combined with her age and face, she actually looks very cute, with a truly playful and quirky girlish charm!

Li Xin's confidence waned further.

She finally saw Bai Liang, but before she could even greet him, the Kapibal gave her another "stab":
"I've assigned you a role: a high school senior repeating her senior year with average grades, pretty but with a timid personality. Do you like it?"

"Hmm, a repeat student? Sounds pretty good. Is he the kind who gets bullied?"

Li Xin felt something was off. She really liked the word "beautiful," but she was also weak-willed.
"Yes, she didn't have many scenes, and in the end, she was bullied to the point of jumping off a building."

The young woman's smile froze. "Jump off a building?"

"It fell from the roof with a thud, that was terrible."

Upon hearing the word "miserable," Li Xin couldn't help but shudder, and her gaze towards Bai Liang became somewhat resentful.

She just wanted to ride the wave of popularity and create some buzz, so how did it become about being bullied and threatening to jump off a building?

Can't we just make some more normal characters?
It is not impossible.

Bai Liang said she could also be a background figure, and he would be happy to give her a close-up shot later.

After all, there's no reason to force someone to jump off a building.

Li Xin: Then I'd better jump off the building~
Since she's already here, if she's just going to be a background character, she probably won't stay on set for more than a day or two before she has to leave.

It would be best to stay a few more days, otherwise marketing accounts will run out of things to write about.

Bai Liang even said he would take her for a ride on his motorcycle, and she was really looking forward to it.

However, Li Xin overlooked the recent impact of the Chen Duling incident.
Even though she openly joined the cast of "Better Days," there wasn't much of a stir online.

The discussion about her pairing with Bai Liang did not increase as a result.

Unconvinced, she stomped her foot and declared, "Let's camp in the RV together tonight!"

Hearing this, Bai Liang thought she was trying to evoke a wave of nostalgia, since the two of them had "met" in a campervan.

There's no reason for them to disagree.

"If we're photographed by paparazzi, will it cause you trouble?" Li Xin asked.

After all, she couldn't just create hype for herself and get Bai Liang into trouble.

"It's okay~"

Bai Liang didn't seem to care much about the Dao.

However, as night fell and Li Xin put on a mask and walked from the hotel to Bai Liang's RV, she suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

Then she saw a scene that left her speechless.

A paparazzo, who didn't even try to hide, glanced at her, didn't bother to raise his camera, and simply turned and left.

Li Xin: ? ? ?
They're leaving already? An eight-hour workday paparazzi? Off work already?

Paparazzi: He's playing games in his RV again! What's the point of taking pictures? It's a waste of memory.

After getting into the RV, Li Xin felt a little dazed. Had the world become so crazy that she couldn't understand it anymore?
Are paparazzi these days even reluctant to photograph male and female celebrities meeting privately at night?
"Hey? Why are you still wearing a mask?"

Looking at her attire, Bai Liang asked curiously.

"We have to be discreet, of course we have to wear masks."

Bai Liang hesitated to speak, feeling that Miss Li Xin might be experiencing a lot of bad luck lately.

Chen Duling has been dressed like this the few times she's come to his RV to play games.

The paparazzi have stopped taking pictures.

Bai Liang couldn't very well go over and grab those paparazzi by the ears and make them do their jobs.

Slacking off in the workplace can happen in any industry, including paparazzi.

Seeing Li Xin's pitiful and bewildered expression, Bai Liang knew it was time for him to make his move.

Bad luck? Mercury retrograde?
It's okay, Kapibal will "bless" you, and your luck will improve~
That being said, it seems he hasn't been in contact with Li Xin for quite some time.
